I've read on the forum that R2F puts a temporary file (called slopfile.ini) on the internal drive at boot up, to stop you managing to fill it. The file then gets deleted by the system when phone is turned off.

Well fortunately, I've yet to suffer from any major problems. I've had a few TOD's, but nothing other. I did hear from another P800 user that the IR Remote software could cause problems - like corrupting disks, so I uninstalled it promptly.

Have the same problem myself on a 'clean' R2D version. From reading other the posts in various threads, reading symptons and suggested causes the only one worthy of consideration in my view is that the memory is filling-up (newbie qu. : how can i tell how much is memory is being used on my 'clean' phone ?).
Suggestions that dodgy/untested applications, or... not using the lastest firmware or... not using infrared etc. may well be true...but just distract from what seems to be THE fundamental flaw.
We'd all love to keep our backups up-to-date, but hey when i'm away from my PC and the disk goes bang it's hardly practical to fly/bus/train/drive home just to restore my contacts, etc !!
...yes, i am p****d off. Great technology, crap reliability.

Hi,
The problem certainly is not the memory getting full.... The formatting HD message appeared to me a few days ago. I had just taken a pic and it said there were something like 135 left. Then I got an SMS nad when I tried to open it, and got the TOD
:(
Tried to turn on the phone, but it just froze..... An advice is to remove the memstick under startup, when I did that it formatted my drive
And now the phone is restored and laying here on my desk, smiling
Btw. I have R2D and the slopfile.ini
Best regards,
Martin
